Thanks. I think you discovered a bug in "Disk Manager", it simply ( and wrongly assumes) a valid fstab line need to hold always 6 fields, which is always to include the the last two dump- and pass-field.BlueDragon wrote: Sun Sep 17, 2023 5:49 pm The installer created this content (fstab):Presently I manually corrected it this way:Code: Select all

I experimented by also including all my other btrfs (rotating) disks but since the mounting is taking so much time (something like 2 min for the 5 hdd's), I threw all out again and will only mount them whenever needed (just clicking on them in dolphin).Code: Select all

All together manually my fstab then looked like that:The Disk Manager is not showing the swap file at all. I guess that must be the reason, why it's discarded (entry deleted), whenever I change something. I can reproduce it every time. Of course it must be a permanent change (check mark in 'Enable').Code: Select all

But tools which read those fields would normaly default this value to zero if empty.
You can manually "fix" it by adding "0 0" to the swap line, so it look like this:
Code: Select all
#Entry for /dev/sde6 :
UUID=77df623b-3cf7-43d3-9d06-593ad3dc3d0e swap swap discard 0 0
